Put the tank on its own circuit today (well my sparky mate did). This way if a hair straightener is left on and shorts, my fish and coral don't die :)
Also popped an outlet for the avast swabbie closer to the skimmer so I don't have to dig it out of the power centre. That outlet is connected to a timer so it only runs a few minutes each day.

Starting to come together :)

Hoping to "fully" automate soon, but happy pressing the odd button and opening/closing a couple of valves for 5mins for the moment :)

Remote control water changes, I love it!! Fully automated ones, even better haha

Hope the family is doing well to mate! :)

Tank has new NSW hard plummed from back shed, fresh water plumbed from laundry and 3 waste lines (RODI waste, skimmer drain and water change drain) so that I don't have to use any buckets to change water. Was always the plan after getting over the whole bucket thing with the RSM130!!!

I love the setup, it's such a fantastic idea (and carry water for a wc on that tank would be a pain in the arse! lol). I must be old school, I still carry my water by hand :p

Your still young, you probably look at it as a workout. I am an old man now, officially middle aged. I look at it as a sore back the next day :P

Hahaha it is a bit of a workout doing a water change :p especially carrying the 25L bastards! You're not even close to old, don't try and play that card! I would definitely be doing automated water changes too if I could haha

True story.... :P
